Parent's Toy

by Ş∂ņďħy∂   Jan 10, 2005


My parents covered me in their caring arms
Till my tender steps were firm enough
Infinite love and concern they offered
But it grew egotistical and lost charm

A special flower bloomed to alter my state
It was an unfit dream to be in “their” garden
I was asked to erase my true feelings forever
And to deem my lover like a common mate

They dreamt for me and preset my fate!
Proud of their evergreen achievements,
My dreams seemed to be ignored or unseen
Silently I crushed it for them not to be irate

Places changed; Time got lost in seasons
Yet, trashed dreams kept returning
With filled eyes, I beseeched for my love
Hoping, they would value my reasons

Even before my internal wounds could heal
They started planning for my nuptials
A stranger agreed to be my soul mate
They thought my fake smile could turn real

Content to see my life’s dream destroy
They sigh! that I am naïve to understand life!
Experienced than me, they must be right
Or was I born, just to be my parent’s toy?

    I really liked this poem. The rhyming, and the rhythm - it was very well done. I was about to ask in here if it was true, but then I read it wasn't, lol. My only complaint is that it was very safe - as in to say, it kind of stuck to all the rules too much. It's not a bad thing, and it's only a personal thought about it. Overall, like I said, I really liked it.

    I agree, great job. I usually don't care for that rhyming scheme, but you've worked it very well. The flow was very solid and meaningful.

    This poem can relate to so many people on all different levels.

    Welcome back, btw.

    Nice poem Trincy. that's the way it is right - all parents hope to achieve thier dreams thru their children. and sometimes, it's hard to draw the line as to where to stop. your imagination sounds well strung here!
